SHANGHAI, June 12 (Bloomberg): Shanghai re-imposed a ban on dine-in services at restaurants in most districts while a dozen local officials were punished for a management lapse at a quarantine hotel, as infections in the financial hub and capital Beijing continued to climb.

There were 29 local covid cases reported in Shanghai on Saturday, with 4 cases out of quarantine areas. Beijing discovered 65 cases the same day, all linked to a cluster found at a popular bar.
